Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "CSP26189 - Administrator" has reached the award stage. UK Research and Innovation sought the services of a temporary administrator through UK Shared Business Services Limited (UK SBS), located in Swindon, England. This contract falls under the industry category of "Supply services of personnel including temporary staff," and the procurement method used was selective, leveraging a call-off from the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework. The awarded contract commenced on 17 February 2026 and will conclude on 30 June 2026, valued at £20,300.72, with Reed Specialist Recruitment designated as the supplier.
